NCT ID NCT05571059

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 33 times

Summary

This study tests an oral medication called ifetroban in 128 adults aged 40+ with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a progressive lung-scarring disease. Participants will receive either ifetroban or a placebo for 52 weeks to see if the drug can slow the decline in lung function (measured by forced vital capacity) and reduce flare-ups, hospitalizations, or death. The goal is to control the disease and preserve lung function, not to cure it.
